THE RED TAPE DEPARTMENT.

The tariff has been put on the basis of
high privilege and automatic authority.
You must pay the monopolist tribute and
give him the advantage of all the oppOr-
tunities. The New York Times says:
"a gentleman recently declared to the
department that he was the owner of a
coat made in Germany in 1873, and
brought to this country by him in 1885.
Later he rashly lent the coat to his broth
er for use on voyage to Europe. 1t has
just been returned to him, and he asks
that he be allowed to receive it without
the payment of duty. The Treasury De-
partment is compelled to refuse the APP
plication on the ground that while the
law would not prevent man from wear
ing such q coat across the boundary of
the United States, it could not again al
low its free entry after ii had been sent
abroad unless it were in the actual use
OF person arriving in the United States"

BASEBALL.

John d. Council, formerly a league and
association umpire, has been appointed as an
umpire in the international league by Secre-
tery White.
Morgan z. Murphy, of the Boston team, is
the youngest catcher in the league, as he Is
but 10 years of age He played with the
Boston Blues last year.
Manager Harry Wright has definitely de
cided upon southern trip, and his Philadel-
phia team is booked to play in Charleston, s..
c., March 26, 28 and -.
Kappel, Cincinnati's new third baseman,
ranks with Fennelly and McPhee as q base
runner There is little doubt that he will
play with the team in Carpenters place.
The new league rules are severely criticised
by Fogarty Of the Philadelphias, who asserts
that. instead OF lettering the game, 1t will
put il back to where u was ten years ago.
Manager Watkins says he would not trade
Hardie Richardson, Of the Detroits, for the
great and only Michael J. Kelly. He says
that Richardson can play in any position on
tho ball field.
The Detroit club management have made
another appeal to the people Of their city for
substantial support This, they urge, can be
given by purchasing for s25 season ticket,
emitting the holder TO admission to IS sched-
ulcd games.
Itisrather early in the season to predict
how the clubs of any particular league Will
rank at the close of the season, but Syracuse
manager says that the international clubs
will come out OF the race in the following
order: Newark, Rochester, Syracuse, jersey
City, Toronto, Binghamton, Utica, Hamil-
ton, Buffalo and Oswego. Doubtless, the
Utica people will have something to say on
this point.
The Baltimore Herald figures it out thusly:
sit is a liberal estimate TO say that Mike
Kelly will play a total of 1870 games during
the season. They will average two hours
each in length or 26O hours. Two hundred
and sixty hours will equal in round numbers
eleven full days. For these eleven days this
desirable exponent of baseball gets S454.5f
dav. or at the incredible rate of Sl65,9OL III
per annum, and Boston has bought this gold
mine for $4,000"

SPORTING AND ATHLETIC.

Slosson and Schaefer, the two great billiard
experts, will again cross cues at Chicago i'll
the near future.
Betting on the race across the Atlantic
ocean between the Dauntless and the Coronet
is slightly in favor OF the latter.
A fifteen ball pool match will shortly be
arranged between Malone and Frey. 1t will
be for the worlds championship.
Myers, the American sprinter, recently de
feated Malone in Australia at $50 yards, and
was in turn beaten by Hutchens at 2io
yards
A match race for $4,000 a side, between
jim Gray and Sir Joseph, to occur at the
Washington Driving park, Chicago, this
spring, IS among the probabilities.
Robert Vint, the little Brooklyn shoe
maker, won the recent six days go as you
please race in Philadelphia, covering $50
miles. Hart. the colored man, was second.
The Turf, Field and Farm is authority for
the statement that William Beach, the
champion sculler, has been offered $4,000 tc
come to this country to row Gaudaur
Teemer and Hanlsn.
Covington, the celebrated jockey, who was
seriously hurt at New Orleans last week by
tho accidental discharge of pistol in his OWL
hands, is rapidly recovering Covington last
year rode in over 400 races, winning seventy
Ave OF them.

Gen. Grant in 1868.

find in my notes description of Gen.
Grant written Behind Vicksburg in June,
1868 1t may be of interest at this remote
date:
Almost at any time one can see small but
compactly built man of about 40 years OF
age walking through the camps. He moves
with his shoulders thrown little in front OF
the perpendicular, his left hand in the pocket
of his trousers, an unlighted cigar in his
mouth, his eyes thrown straight forward,
which. from the haze of abstraction which
wells them, and a eOuntenance plOwed into
burrows of thought, would seem to indicate
that he is irsnsely preoccupied. The sol
diers observe him coming, and, rising TO
their feet, gather on each side Of the way to
see him pass-they do not salute him, they
ONLY watch him curiOusly, with certain sort
of familiar reverence. His distracted air is
not so great while he thus moves along as TO
prevent his seeing everything without appar-
entity looking at it; you will discover this in
the fact that, however deuse the crowd in
which you stand, if you are an acquaintance,
his eve will for an instant rest on you with
glance Of recollection, accompanied with
grave nod of recognition.
A plain blue suit without scarf, sword or
trappings OF any sort, save the double starred
shoulder straps, an indifferently good Kos
suth hat, or SLOUGH, with the crown battered
in close to his head, full beard between light
and sandy a square cut face, whose lines
and contour indicate extreme endurance and
determination, complete the external APP
pearance Of this small man, as one sees him
passing along, turning and chewing restlessly
the end Of his unlighted cigar. His counte-
nance in rest has the rigid immobility OF cast
iron, and while this indicates the unyielding
tenacity OF the bulldog, one finds in his gray
ewes smile and other evidences Of the pos
session Of those softer traits seen upon the
lips and over the entire faces Of ordinary
people On horseback he loses all the awk
wardness which distinguishes him - he
moves about on foot. Erect and graceful,
he seems a portion Of his Steed, without
which the full effect would be incomplete.
Along with body guard Of the general rides
his son Fred, a stout lad OF some II summers.
he sndures all the marches, follows his father
under fire with all the GOODNESS Of an old
soldier, and is, in short, "chip of the old
block. n-"Poliuto" in Chicago Times

THE ISSUE.

So Boss Malone says that he VIII not
90 for reputation. We told the people
q wear ago that this would be the issue
ON which the Democratic party would DC
compelled to take positive stand when
the Renublicans denounced reputation,
and the eunoch element of the Democracy
wish to take the pride and principle out
of the party and hire it out to the highest
bidder repudiationist, or colorcd states
man.
Now. let us see where the repudiators
will be: The alternative, the threat, and
the dishonor will all be charged up to the
Democratic party of the State; and the
national Democracy will see it at Hong
Kong without return ticket before ii
will undertake to carry the men or the
idea.
The Republicans will oyerrun the State
if the present policy" is carried out with
the automaton calculation Of figures,
putting paid-up bonds in the liabilities,
bulldozing coupon payers, and actually
prostituting grand juries to a political
trick.
The last part of this is the most sad and
disgraceful that has happened in Virginia
to the shame Of her lost pride.
The idea that the grand court of in
quest, charged with the affairs of a COM
munity, should be so inoculated with a
prejudice as to forget that a man-even
if they thought him an enemy-ought to
be bulldozed by the law, is absolutely
horrible. And then the grand jury pub
fishes to the world that it is afraid.
In Gods name, what is the oath worth,
and of what are they so afraid?
We want to point out these facts in
burning words, that the people may see
the nonsensical results of demagogue
idea of disappearing facts and ignor-
ing principles instead of telling the truth.

A Chiid's Suggestion.

A young gentleman was calling at house
on Algonquin avenue day or two ago,
where he is a frequent visitor. While wait
Ing for one Of the young ladies he attempted
the heavy aifable with small Mecca little
mite OF a thing who was, as rule, calmly
ignored. All Miss Smallweed," cries the
rash young gentleman, playfully chucklng
the child under the chin, 'shall l clap you in
my pocket and carry you home with mef'
"No, thank you, was the quick reply, you'd
better pocket Aunt Mabel, and then you
won't have TO como here SO often"

Governor Hill, of New York, has a
photographic boom, a portrait illustrating
his speech and syndicate pooling the
profits of the dead lions skin.
We do not like the lion, but still we
acknowledge the lion when he has the
courage to do honest, brave things, and
we will wait for another Trotter before
we finally conclude that many mistakes
can foil single virtue.

The ocean yacht race across the Allan
tic will be an interesting event, for it is
really curious that such matches have
been decided by only an hour or so when
the boats followed different courses and
were of different quality in speed.
1t is a test of the finest seamanship, and
the best captain will win with boat in
ferior to his rivals.
